PRAYING FOR THE SICK:
If you wish prayers for anyone you know to be sick,
please inform
CANON EDDIE.
The sick will be listed in the Parish Bulletin
and prayed for generally at all weekend Masses.
“Prayer Packages” - envelopes with a prayer and a cross inside - are available to be distributed to Catholic Patients at the RAH who have requested prayers or the Sacrament of Anointing. Also included is a message about the Plenary Indulgence.
(A second prayer sheet for non-Catholic is also available for staff to distribute.)
A Prayer card for doctors, nurses and staff at the hospital will also be available to encourage them and show them we are praying for them too.
If anyone has a family member in the hospital please ask them to ask the nurse to obtain one of these “Cross and Prayer” envelopes for their loved one.
Catholic Staff Nurses at the RAH have been asked to make these “Prayer Packages” available and to let other nurses know that they are available for Catholic patients.
